6. ”My parents are my backbone. Still are. They’re the only group that will support you if you score zero or you score 40.” – Kobe Bryant
This quote transcends sports. Parents are incredibly important in the type of people we all become, and clearly Kobe had some great parents. The support you can give to your child goes so much further than you can possibly imagine in the moment. I completely get where Kobe is coming from, and without role models like his parents, Kobe could have been just another run of the mill NBA player. He has openly stated he isn’t the most physically gifted, but he wants to be remembered as doing the most with what he was given. His support system enabled that.
